You may have heard that the W is a "bigs' league" and that is certainly true, not just because some of the best offensive players are bigs. It is easier for good defenses and rim protectors to just deny rim attempts outright, here's a look at the best ones... (formula in reply)

Rachid Meziane will never have to pay for a drink in Houston ever again #wnba

am I supposed to be a Bay FC fan now

performance against top 7 teams #wnba Lynx 4–2 (11–3) Aces 4–2 (10–4) Liberty 2–2 (10–4) Dream 3–4 (9–4) Valkyries 2–4 (9–5) Wings 4–4 (9–5) Fever 2–3 (9–5) 
 Sparks 1–5 (7–7) 
Tempo 0–4 (7–8) Fire 4–6 (7–9) Mystics 1–5 (5–7) Sky 2–5 (4–9) Mercury 1–8 (4–11) Storm 0–6 (3–12) Sun 0–7 (2–13)

I can't lie but if in 2026 it is louder in your home arena for Sophie Cunningham than your own team it might have been time to sell the team indeed #wnba

something to keep in mind – it's completely realistic that by Sunday the Tempo have an 8–5 record while having played only 2 (two) games against the top 7 teams #wnba

so which guard staying at home to make place for Olivia Miles for the World Cup #wnba

an awful game on offense from Leïla, even more so process-wise than the result alone, couldn't get in front of Jacy all game and her two shot attempts in the 4Q were the worst airballs I've ever seen. Really bad turnovers too. Aneesah 0/6 on layups did the rest. #wnba

had Sophie been selected in the expansion draft by Portland or Toronto it would have looked exactly like this I guess lol #wnba

the thing that confuses me the most in the current #wnba and it is not even close is the utilization of Valeriane Ayayi

I'm watching the UPSHOT LEAGUE for the first time (better than trying to watch the Chicago Stars I guess) let's go www.youtube.com/watch?v=peK8...

have loved the glimpses of Storm+Torrent connection, we need more and more and more and more and more of this, everywhere, for all women's sports!!

good loss for the Sun against the Fire! Unfortunately for them, the Mystics now technically have the best odds thanks to the swap with the Sky. And if both the Sky and Mystics don't make the playoffs it might be tough to get them out of those 2 and 3 spot, only Toronto/Portland could maybe. #wnba

last year the pre-Lacan days were not any better, but it’s been disappointing to see most of the players not taking a step since. It will get better when the team is complete, but relying on Lacan changing everything around for the second year in a row is simply not a good process. #wnba

Flau'jae's shooting efficiency has not been spectacular, but I'd say I have enjoyed like 80 % of the process – the out of control pull up middies and random heat-check-without-even-being-hot-in-the-first-place threes need to calm down – and the looks have been mostly good, getting great reps! #wnba

the 4th quarter of Mercury-Dream is 40+ minutes on league pass lol #wnba

the Sky offense had not been stellar to begin with, lost a large part of its firepower with Rickea, and I'm not sure I see a way for it to get much better even when all the injured players return #wnba

found it hilarious that the team almost presented it as an achievement that he would be the first to have the dual role lol

I agree with the trade idea, ONO could also be a good candidate, but in the end no matter who it is, it is probably hard to find a good trade this early in the season (just look at what players Portland gives up for free lol) #wnba

why Aneesah Morrow played 6 minutes: -subbed out with others from the starting lineup after a not good defensive effort on Flau'jae's transition drive -is sat next to Roneeka who talks to her (they do that often, with other players too), still good body language -comes back for the 2nd quarter #wnba

Portland might still try but otherwise it's going to be hard to outtank the Sun (take your time Leïla!) #wnba

good to see HVL playing well now that she's healthy and in a good place to show her talents #wnba

I've always thought some other sports do much better in specifically preparing players for various chaotic endgame situations where instincts take over

I just knew this would end with a Chelsea steal lolol #wnba

Okot allows the Dream to play much more direct and simple, they keep overthinking things with the starting lineup and no Rhyne makes that even worse because she would at least put up shots #wnba

I'm allowing Angel 2 offensive fouls/turnovers a game for overzealous rebound effort or moving screen + 1 turnover for a lazy pass (it is what it is), but every turnover above that should be FINEABLE 😭 😭 #wnba

the Sky without Angel Reese in 2024 and 2025: 2–18 the Sky without Angel Reese in 2026: 2–0 a promising start at least! #wnba

Cameron Brink coming off the bench was supposed to "take the pressure off her" but then coach blasts her after one game... this Sparks project has been fascinating (mostly derogatory so far but we'll see) #wnba

this game had such a good tempo and then the referees decide to take 5 minutes for a random review where they don't even know what they are reviewing #wnba

seems extremely impressive and under-reported? I wonder if there were some convenience factors playing a role, but even then the difference with previous years is stark. #wnba

I really wonder where people would have ranked Phoenix in their preseason rankings had they kept Satou (and everything else was the same) #wnba

I was literally looking up what is Julia Ayrault even up to two weeks ago lol #wnba

Parker's tiers certainly did not "make sense to everyone" and the ESPN rankings were panned by most, including other journalists and analysts. Considering the theme, it is ironic (and insulting) that even thoughtful criticism gets indiscriminately described as deluded hate of extreme fans. #wnba

at this point I'm fully ready for Mikaylah Williams also falling to like #8 because "concerns" about her get magnified in an overblown manner

taking the pressure off the #2 pick going into her 3rd season... #monitoring #wnba

gives me a lot of Seattle 24–25 vibes... the first ~6 players are impressive and then it starts getting spooky pretty quickly #wnba

Peddy, CLW Lacan*, Kneepkens KB, Nell*, Saniya, Diamond Aaliyah, Aneesah BG, ONO would be my conservative prediction for the final 12, but Leïla and Nell will most likely arrive later so someone else could make it too. Not too confident about Diamond but other than that most spots are locked. #wnba

really hope we get to see the official CBA in the next few days because we're getting players signed to the development roster spots and we have no clear idea about what are the players' rights concerning all of that process! #wnba

sneaking the Sheldon trade in between those positively received moves was so funny

early #wnba landscape

with BG coming in I guess the Sun should try to move ONO for some future picks or something, I really don't want another season of 2 young frontcourt players having to sit on the bench no matter what lol #wnba

I guess the question always was if the Dream could afford Bri Jones if they resign Rhyne and Allisha to some max money. If you can get Naz+Angel for the price of Bri it makes sense from a roster building strategy? (Well honestly we know nothing at this point lol.) #wnba

the middle one is Geno yeah #pwhl #wcbb

I wonder if in theory the Valkyries would have considered trading the #8 pick to keep Leite – as in, do you believe you can get someone better in this class? (The problem is obviously that in a two-team expansion draft you cannot really do that because you'd have to bribe both teams.) #wnba

just saying... 😂 #wnba

my biggest revelation of the #wnba expansion draft discussions has been how weirdly unrated Julie Allemand is. I mean, I don't expect her to be protected (would be surprised to not see her taken though), but I'd be really curious to see all the supposed available better options at similar price lol

this Thorns+Current colour combination is impeccable #nwsl

the greatest ever

2024: 132-144 roster spots 2025: 143-156 roster spots 2026: 180-210 roster spots There might be as many as 54 (FIFTY-FOUR) more #WNBA players this season – as there seems to be zero reason to not fully use the two development spots all the time.
